UC Merced is a new university about 5 miles from Merced...about 10 miles from us...Ashlee (selling Trash Bags) and her friend, Candice (selling Jewelry) were vendors (sharing a booth) at the Fairy Shrimp Festival this year. It was truly a lovely day...seeing familiar faces...festival fun. The campus was open with guided tours...It was a successful day for both Candice and Ashlee. I'm already looking forward to attending next year's! By the way, it took years of debate and litigation over the natural habitat of vernal pools (in which the fresh water fairy shrimp live) on the university property. It's my understanding that they were able to construct the university without disturbing much of the habitat. Honestly, most people living locally had never heard of the fairy shrimp before the land was donated to the state!
